Hi,
I think Bitcoin Core etc. should make their client connect to at least 12 peers(Not only 8 as now) as the clusters of peers are very easy to see if you virtualiaze the network.. It is also make it much easier to guess who sendt who transaction. With more peers some of this issues will be smaller and it will also make the network more stable and if increased block size happens it will also make for faster synch of all nodes! Which also will make more people run nodes and will give the network more nodes overall!
So this little change will have no negative effects, only positive? Anyone dissagree?
